Grab Your Foot! posted:Specifically Roger is known for his cross choke from mount, which is a gi choke and can't be done without the gi. Most of the other chokes from mount also involve the gi, and those that don't aren't really unique to or even necessarily best attempted from the mount, like all the arm triangle variants. So all the hubbub about Overeem winning a grappling tournament or w/e was with a gi? Also, how prestigious is that win really?

Yeah, Overeem won the European qualifiers for ADCC in 2005, and then withdrew from the competition because the tournament proper would have run very close to the second round of the Pride Final Conflict tournament, which was a bigger deal for Overeem because MMA is really more his bag and because it pays better particularly for someone who isn't likely to actually win a tournament like Abu Dhabi. Alistair ended up losing in the semi finals of that tournament to Shogun, who went on to win the tournament. As for Alistair's run in the European ADCC trials, first of all they were legitimately impressive and more so because he won every match via submission and via the same submission, a guillotine. On the other hand the European trials are traditionally the weakest trials to qualify for ADCC (because Europe generally doesn't have very many high level submission grapplers)and I know nothing about anybody Overeem beat in that qualifier. If nothing else it did prove that Overeem's guillotine is nasty, which you can see here as he uses it to win his final match. edit: to not begin every post with specifically.

I believe it's up to referee discretion; I would imagine that most guys would have gotten dqed already but the ref was nervous about straight up disqualifying a really high-profile competitor in the finals of the world championships. Also while it's gotten better in the past few years, refereeing in sport jiujitsu and nogi is one of the biggest clownshows in combat sports. Seriously if you were a wrestler or a judo competitor watching a couple jiujitsu refs is enough to make you spit bile.

I went to a podunk tournament and got to the finals. Foreshadowing their shittyness, One of the judges leaves the judging table to corner my opponent who is from their school. It was the biggest clown show ever. The ref just didn't award me two points for a sweep, and then, when my opponent "won" by 2 the loving judges ran over to congratulate him. When my team started complaining about the conflict of interest and poor judging, they pointed to their ref, who was "a black belt from brazil" as proof of their infallibility, which is a ludicrous argument on many separate levels. We packed up halfway through the day and just left, since there was no point in dealing with any of that. I've also been taken down by a wrestler, he then left my guard and motioned for me to stand up. Rather than him losing two points for disengaging the ref threatened to dock me two points for "stalling" when I didn't want to stand up. It really is not an enjoyable experience and a big reason why I don't really enjoy competition.

I think the judging at IBJJF events(at least for black belts) has gotten much better over the last few years(50/50 isn't near the debacle it once was, very few big gently caress ups by refs etc). However in smaller tournaments over the last few years I've seen any number of debacles including refs talking on the phone during a match, a ref not seeing that a competitor was asleep and numerous instances of refs not giving points for positions held for waaaaaaay longer than 3 seconds. The problems not going to go away until promoters stop reusing terrible referees.

The problems not going to go away until promoters stop reusing terrible referees. The reffing is a big part of the reason I rarely compete in BJJ. As much as I hate the million rules Judo has, the reffing is way better. For example, I often will ref at local competitions. I had to become a black belt before I could ref. I also had to pass a written exam. Then they let me ref only juniors for my first few tournaments (which actually worked out well since that allowed me to still compete in seniors). Before each tournament we have a meeting for about a half hour going over any rule changes or clarifications and giving anybody a chance to ask questions about any situation they can dream up. Then when we go out and ref the most senior guy will often not even take the mat all day. He'll just sit in the corner with a notepad and call you over after every match to go over what went well, and what went wrong. Plus there are always three refs on the mat, which gives you confidence that you'll be overruled if you gently caress up. And this is for local tournaments, only after a few years of local tournaments am I now being allowed to even think about reffing a regional event. The refs at every BJJ tournament I've been to are just random guys who may or may not have even been given a sheet listing the rules.

For example I don't really think this is a slam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL22PCYmUug#t=3m10s (I can understand refs wanting to keep white belts from developing bad habits and making sure the tournament is relatively injury free. But it is not really a slam in my opinion.) However the below would be an example of very obvious slamming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JEYai6mM88&feature=related#t=3m50s To me 'slams' are very specific to what is seen in MMA. (Guy A has Guy B in closed guard. Guy B wants to escape but can't quite do so. Guy B lifts Guy A up and slams him on the ground. Guy A will typically either hit his head and be knocked out, have the wind knocked out of him. Occasionally Guy A is unfazed but this seems rare. Although it's been a while since I've watched MMA so maybe this has changed.) Someone jumping guard onto you, throwing off your balance making you fall ontop of them isn't a slam. (Ideally you can hold them up, but this isn't always the case.) Pushing someone towards the mat while trying to jerk an arm out of an armbar isn't a slam. Hell getting thrown from a vicious kata-guruma from standing I wouldn't think of a slam either, as unpleasant as it is. Senor P. fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Feb 21, 2011 |

One of the things I've been bitching about for years is that takedowns or sweeps or passes to someone's turtle should be worth points, just like sweeping or passing to side control. I think encouraging people to give up their backs to nullify points breeds bad habits for mma and has no compelling reason to exist in grappling.

I love the turtle as a defensive grappling position, youre in so much danger, that its a trade off for not giving up points(if turtle immediately rolls to guard, then a takedown should be awarded). Grappling is all about using tech to beat tech, and the fact that the opponent cant strike you, means he needs to solve the 'puzzle' that is how you play each position. I mean, I also love the grip game in bjj and everything about competing in a Gi, just saying.

I'm not quite sure about how the rules work regarding sweep to turtle but in the finals of last years Pan Am open class Antonio Braga Neto was up on advantages over Bernardo Faria when Bernardo attempted an omoplota, he didn't get Antonio to roll so he released the arm and came up to top of turtle and got two points and won the match.

That counts as a sweep because Faria started in bottom guard and ended up on top. The issue is that if Neto had passed his turtle by shoving him to side control, it wouldn't actually count as a guard pass, and if Faria had Granby Rolled Neto from bottom turtle to side control, that likewise would not oval office as a sweep. Also, people will "turn turtle" to block a pass, and even if they get taken over it doesn't ount for points, since it's the guard pass that's worth points, not the attaining f side control. Sport BJJ doesn't really know what to make of the turtle. It's one of my favorite positions thanks to Telles' DVD but it is kinda strange.

I've always thought giving two points (or some value, hell maybe only a single point) for establishing control on a turtled guy, IE seatbelt hold, referee position, etc. would help with people turtling up constantly.

I posted in the Ask/Tell thread about how I was starting Judo classes, buuut because of my work schedule that isnt working out anymore so Im gonna have to drop the extra $$$ and take up BJJ instead. For a mouthguard, will the $2 boil and bite I used in HS be adequate? And for my first class, is it cool for me to show up in like a t-shirt/shorts for a gi class?

If you have a Judo gi, that will be just fine. Also, mouth guards are really a 'what works best for you' kind of deal in my opinion. I will recommend not getting the top and bottom style, breathing with those things sucks.

While grappling without a mouthpiece is not a good idea I'm actually happy that I wear headgear way more frequently. Occasionally somebody will elbow you in the mouth or something and then you appreciate the mouthguard but fuckers are all about touching my ears and they do not appreciate the touching. If you care about having nice ears and particularly if you are susceptible to cauliflower ear wear them, because getting ears drained (either by a doctor or the do it yourself version) sucks.

Chipping teeth and what not are very painful and expensive, you will get used to having it in before a month is done, and it will save you a literal and metaphorical headache.

wow, I think im going to start wearing mine, Ive been doing this a little while and nothing bad has happened yet, but theres times when im working a choke on someone else, and I feel like im gritting my teeth way too much. I have a nice top only mouthpiece, no excuse not to. Is it cool if I keep posting match videos? I dont think I can embed FB videos, but this match is just awesome. Braga Neto vs Cyborg from semifinals of last years's Worlds. I remember they didnt show this match on the stream, but there was a thunderous applause for the finish, the whole place was shaking it seems, and the commentators just stopped talking haha. hopefully this link works: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=414307307297&comments boa cyborg!
